A container holds two layers of different liquids; one liquid has a specific gravity of 1.20 and 250 mm thick and the other has a specific gravity of 1.50 and 300 mm thick. A solid spherical metal having a diameter of 225 mm and has a sp.gr. of 7.40 is submerged in such a manner that half of the sphere is on the top layer and the other half is in the bottom layer of liquids. Compute the tension (Newton) in the rope holding the metal to maintain its position. a. 251 b. 354 c. 404 d. 237
